For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.

Ooooh them's fighting words. Have you tried a burger with a homegrown tomato? Pretty night and day, might just change your mind.

That’s the ugliest tomato I’ve ever seen on a burger!

This guy tomatoes.

[–] ChrisFhey@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That looks really weird. Not knowing about it, I'd assume the tomato isn't ripe yet in that state.
But I assume it's perfectly ripened and delicious?

[–] Oswald_Buzzbald@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, there are all sorts of tomatoes, coming in various shapes, sizes, and colors. They all have different tastes too, although it is going to taste like a tomato to some degree.

I'm going to look around for something like this where I live. I've only ever come into contact with the "normal" tomatoes, but I'm intrigued.

[–] snooggums@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

In addition to color variety, different tomatoes have different textures. A farmer's market is more likely to have a grower who knows the difference than a grocery store with a small heirloom basket where the staff just pit out what they have.

Like some are more firm, or have more juice, and with a lot of variety like apples.

They’re all heirloom tomatoes. There are heirloom varieties of other things too. Tons of more flavors exist than what you are presented in the supermarket!

[–] MothrOfChrst@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Well that's definitely a tomato I've never seen - wild! My most interesting this year is probably the German Striped but I'm going to have to try those tie-dyes I think

Imo the more fucked up the tomato looks the better it tastes.

[–] Wot_The@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Eh.. Not always....sometimes they taste the way they look.

However, I bet that tomato can be removed and you wouldn't even notice if no one told you

@thrawn21

@madkarlsson

Does it not taste or feel like you’re eating a tomato? Because those are the parts of eating tomatoes that I don’t like.

[–] snooggums@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

While there are differences in textures and flavors, different kinds of tomatoes are like different kinds of apples. Someone might just not like apples or tomatoes and never find one they enjoy, and someone else might only like one or a few types.

All tomatoes will have the firm outside and structure with liquid parts. Even with the variance on firmness and amount of liquid, they are all clearly tomatoes.

[–] marauderprophecy1998@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

That is exactly why I avoid getting tomatoes on my burgers in restaurants except for when I cook my own, the homegrown tomato has to be there. I am still shocked at how different the taste is.
